Dance is for everybody. I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people.
At Meyer Levin Performing Arts School, like Alvin Ailey, we believe that dance is for everyone and should be shared with the community. Through dance, we teach students movement, discipline, professionalism, and life lessons, preparing them for future success. Our diverse curriculum includes Ballet, Modern, Jazz, African, and Afro-Caribbean dance, with opportunities to engage with visiting artists and participate in prestigious programs like the City Center Young People Dance Series, American Ballet Theater (ABT), the Joyce Theater and Juilliard performances, all contributing to our students' growth and success.
